About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Mt. Elgon region of Uganda, grown at 1800-1900 meters altitude. It is a washed coffee produced by The Garden Coffee (from The Coffee Yard), a processing center founded by Norman Mukuru that sources cherry from smallholder farmers in the Sironko, Mbale, Bulambuli, and Kapchorwa districts. The varietals are SL14 and SL28. The coffee presents flavor notes of milk chocolate, cherries, bergamot, and black tea, with a clean and expressive profile from the volcanic terroir of Mount Elgon.

Kima Coffee

Rabi Aouam trained as a barista starting in 2010, won the Andalusian Barista Championship in 2014, and began roasting commercially in 2018 without a fixed space. By 2021 he had a roastery and tasting room in the center of Malaga, and the operation quickly gained momentum. Kima was named Best Specialty Coffee of Spain in 2024 and ranked in the top 100 coffee destinations worldwide by Neodrinks in 2025. Rabi works exclusively with 100% Arabica specialty coffee, hand roasting each batch and selecting from a wide range of origins that includes rare varietals like Geisha from Colombia and Wild Orchid Liberica from Vietnam. An in house academy trains professionals from the hospitality sector, with baristas traveling to Malaga specifically for the courses. The philosophy is direct: flavor, traceability, zero artifice.
